I have been seeing a hormone doctor for a couple of years and it has helped a lot. The down side is that my insurance doesn't cover the doctor visits but it does cover the labs and tests. I go to Biobalance in St. Louis, you could go to their website and get a lot of information. Dr. Maupin from there has also written a book The Secret Female Hormone that really explains a lot too. What I also like about them is that they are very knowledgeable about supplements and other treatments that can help.

Yes! I'm having perimenopausal symptoms at age 33, nothing has helped my severe hormonal imbalance. I'm sick from awful periods for about 10 days monthly. I'm literally in bed most of this time. Hormonal testing may help you. Sorry u are suffering.
